Bio Strong (Japansese: バイオストロング, Hepburn: Baiosutorongu?) [Japanese name: Primordial thing] is one of the final bosses from Darius II. Unlike other bosses in the series, Bio Strong takes on the form of a fetus (more specifically a fish egg/embryo).

Appearance
Bio Strong appears like a large egg-shaped creature inside a glowing light sky blue, blue violet, and indigo sphere. Its body shows a mix of organic and mechanical features, with a fleshy alien core and armored sections. It has tentacle-like growths extending from its underside and a narrow dark green eyes on its head, giving it a strange, embryonic look.
Gameplay
When the battle begins, various blue cells will materialize and float around the screen, moving after the player after a while. These cells can be destroyed, but one of those will instead just flash orange and let out a baby-like scream when attacked, meaning this is the real Bio Strong. He will also move after the player, growing into his true size when next to the player and shrinking back after a while. His only other attack is to create five cell spreads, with those cells being indestructible.
